I just rsync the OSS, non-OSS, update and packman repos whole, about 90 GB
total and do not worry about trying to cut them back to 64-bit only. Much
of the executables are not in binaries but in executables in PHP, Perl.
Python, TCL/Tk, Java, etc (are architecture independent).
Having the whole banana makes it easier to load other new applications as
i wish.
This thread gave me a great idea so I am currently creating a local repo for 11.3 oss, non-oss, Packman and updates. Here is my rsync script:
#!/bin/bash
# rsync mirror.aarnet.edu.au and ftp5.gwdg.de mirror for openSUSE local repo
# 11.3 updates - mirror.aarnet.edu.au
rsync -a -v -v --delete-after --progress --stats mirror.aarnet.edu.au::opensuse/opensuse/update/11.3/ /data/repo/update/11.3/
# 11.3 oss and non-oss - mirror.aarnet.edu.au
rsync -a -v -v --delete-after --progress --stats mirror.aarnet.edu.au::opensuse/opensuse/distribution/11.3/repo/ /data/repo/distribution/11.3/repo/
# 11.3 Packman - ftp5.gwdg.de
rsync -a -v -v --delete-after --progress --stats ftp5.gwdg.de::pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/11.3/ /data/repo/packman/suse/11.3/
Then I have apache running and it is pointing to that directory for Document root.
Created a openSUSE 11.3 Virtual Machine on my openSUSE 11.3 KVM host just to this this
This can map the URL space of the remote site into your local site, and it will only fetch on demand. You could combine it with a rsync scheme if you want to preseed your cache. However it doesn’t solve the offline access problem if you don’t have the package you want in the cache.

Would you recommend rsync.opensuse.org over mirror.aarnet.edu.au? My reason for using mirror.aarnet.edu.au is that I have found mirror.aarnet.edu.au to be fast (speed I get off that mirror is about the same as my max download speed)

As a general recommendation, yes. Supossedly you get a mirror appropiate
for your location automatically.

OK thanks for the advice. Once this rsync script is finished (still going, doing packman now then done) I will switch to rsync.opensuse.org. Downloaded 29GB so far
I added this line to /etc/crontab:
0 23 * * * root /data/rsync-distro 2>&1
where /data/rsync-distro is my script from my above post. Should this work OK?
@ah7013: You did exactly the right thing: you took your local (fast) mirror. As seen from the opensuse server you are about the maximum possible distance away (at least as long as you remain on this planet). And rsync will NOT automatically switch to the nearest mirror. Do not change your winning horse.

Try, and report back, so that we know if my suggestion was correct or wrong

No, rsync does not switch. But rsync.opensuse.org is supposed to be a
redirector, and gives you the IP of a suitable rsync server for your
location, automatically.

I simply don’t know.
I remember time ago people that should know (ie, staff) telling to use that
address instead. I understood that it worked as a redirector, but I have no
proof. So I’m interested in knowing.
We could ask on one of the maillists.

rsync has finally finished and I now have my own repo
Installed apache and pointed DocumentRoot to /data/repo and everything is working
One thing I did is comment out the Packman rsync line becasuse from here the Packman mirror is too slow (I am certain its the distance not the mirror itself) and also Packman is HUGE
But OSS, Non-OSS and Updates are working really well. I kept the old OSS, Non-OSS and Updates repos which point to download.opensuse.org in YaST in case I am going out but they are disabled. So when I go out I will enable these and disable my local mirror in YaST (I called it openSUSE-11.3-Oss-Local, openSUSE-11.3-Non-Oss-Local and openSUSE-11.3-Updates-Local).
Thanks all guys

Just a note.
You people should do the initial download as a normal download, ie, without
rsync. When done, then do the rsync to maintain it. Why? Because rsync is
heavy on the servers, few offer that service. If many people start using
it, they might have to consider dropping out.
The polite thing is then to download normally, using hhtp, and keep the
repo with rsync later.
